Adam my guy, that's exactly the point. Why the hell was David Lemuiex on PPV? Lol it's laughable man. You can't knock the fans for laughing at the numbers, knock the promoters for giving an uneducated estimation of their product. "We believe we can do 200K" - Loeffler. Are you serious? lol, when Floyd did 400K with Andre Berto? Are you serious lol? This is on them my brother.
Which was more dissapointing? Floyds 389k ppv buys or GGG's 97k buys.

Berto was just Floyd fulfilling his 6th fight of the contract. Floyd was done making money for SHO after manny.
My guess is that he goes after a rematch w Pac, knowing that he'll get even more money out of the deal this time. Because he's smart enough to know that the rematch won't promote itself as easily this time, he'll put on his final PBF/TMT performance during the promotion promising a worse beating, replicate his performance in the rematch, and end higher than ever.
It's smart business because, and I'll admit that I'm one, there are still millions of people who think Pac might fare better in a rematchLast edited by nveleven; 10-28-2015, 04:20 PM.Comment

Pretty much. For me, the biggest difference is that May/Berto was absolutely panned by media and fans before it even happened. I was actually impressed that it did 400k because NOBODY wanted that fight. On the other hand, no one expected Golovkin to do this poorly. This was billed as an action packed fight that introduced boxing's new star to the world. Instead, it was an ugly beat-down that nobody bought.Comment

With GGG who was in his first PPV and isnt American or of Latin decent(which matters when you want PPV numbers) people thought maybe he'd get around 250k. Well he couldn't even break 100k. Which is a disappointment.
But Floyd being the face of boxing and someone who was averaging 1mil+ per PPV and fighting his final fight, I see that being the bigger flop.Comment
